OfficeCLI Financial-Model Skill

This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-xlsx. Every xlsx hard rule — shell quoting, incremental execution, Help-First Rule, visual delivery floor, CFO 4-color code (blue input / black formula / green cross-sheet / yellow-fill assumption), number-format standards (years as text, zero as -, % one decimal, negatives in parens), assumption-cell discipline, CSV batch import, chart data-feed forms (a/b/c), the 5-gate Delivery cycle, cache-drift guidance, Known Issues (the cross-sheet ! trap, batch + resident for formulas, renderer caveats) — is inherited, not re-taught. This file adds only what a financial model requires on top: three-zone architecture, 3 model-type recipes (3-statement / DCF / LBO), sensitivity + scenario protocols, financial-function patterns, circular-reference discipline, and model-specific Delivery Gates 4–6.

When the xlsx base rules cover it, the text here says → see xlsx v2 §X. Read skills/officecli-xlsx/SKILL.md first if you have not.

Setup

If officecli is missing:

• macOS / Linux: curl -fsSL https://d.officecli.ai/install.sh | bash
• Windows (PowerShell): irm https://d.officecli.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Verify with officecli --version (open a new terminal if PATH hasn't picked up). If install fails, download a binary from https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases.

Help-First Rule

This skill teaches what a financial model requires, not every CLI flag. When a prop name / alias / enum is uncertain, consult help BEFORE guessing: officecli help xlsx [element] [--json]. Help is authoritative for the installed version — when this skill and help disagree, help wins. Every --prop X= below was verified against officecli help xlsx <element>.
